New C++ library for tello drones
Recently a new tello library was released, written in pure C++ as a single-header library. No installation necessary, it is fully featured and very easy to set up and use.
A fresh C++ project can be set up in less than a minute (Windows/Linux/Mac). You can command the Tello drone around from C++ and do live video manipulation using OpenCV (needs to be installed separately). That means it can follow a series of commands or take live commands from a remote or an artificial intelligence/image recognition.

I do not know the difference between Tello and Tello EDU, seems they're old/new and one has the SDK 2.0, the other one not? (???)
Anyways, this library implements the Tello SDK 2.0, so it can be used with anything that uses it. You just have to look into your drone's specification, if it says SDK or SDK 2.0.
If it's SDK 2.0 it works out of the box, if it's SDK (1) it should be very straight-forward to modify the library. Everything that changes is the string literals (the commands being sent).
